Manufacturing Business for Sale in the ice sculpture industry. A unique small business opportunity with high gross margin and fast Return on Investment. The business of crystal clear ice sculptures is a very profitable venture with high gross margins as the only raw material you need to produce these high quality ice creations is plain tap water.

Furthermore, for this manufacturing franchise, you don’t need any special skills as the production machines are almost fully automatic. According to our calculations the pay back of your investment is 6 – 15 months.

One of these machines will produce approximately 12 large crystal clear ice sculptures per month.
